"Fender P-Bass Review"
Sound: If you want a classic Fender P-Bass sound, the best instrument to use is a Fender P-Bass. I've played copies and other instruments with the P-Bass pickups, yet they still don't sound like the original. It has this certain growl to it went cranked that you'll know when you play it. To me, it's the best when equipped with Fender flatwounds. It is also a very versatile instrument. You can play anything from country to metal and sound good. Feature: Pretty basic set up, which is nice. I like the simplicity of it. I usually tweak my amplifier for tone settings and leave my tone and volume knob wide open anyhow. Ease of Use: If you can play the bass, you can play this instrument. It feels just right to me, although if you have smaller hands you may want to consider a Jazz Bass, since the neck is thinner on those. If you do, it won't have that P-Bass sound, though. Quality: Here's where it gets iffy. When I first got the bass, I thought it was perfect then I really noticed a major problem with it: The fret ends were sharp and protruding. When I slid my hand on the neck, it would cut my hand. This impeded my ability to play it, so I had to get it fixed. I've come to understand that this can be a common problem because of the wood on the neck drying out (especially in the climate where I live,) but this was a huge hassle. I've never encountered this where I previously lived, but I also live in a more humid enviroment. The bridge is not that great, also. I might be able to live with it, but I may upgrade to a Badass bridge in the future. The tuners seem to be fine, so no problems there. The pick ups sound excellent, to me. Of course, sound is relative to one's taste. Another thing I should point out is most instrument that you buy in a shop or online are often not set up correctly. You may have to have this done, but this is not usually a reflection on the instrument itself. Fortunately, the place where I recieved mine must have set it up prior to being sent, so I had no problem with that. Value: It's about average value. Sometimes you may find something cheaper that you like better. It's really one's own taste. How much do you want to spend? Manufacturer Support: When I first contacted Fender they just played the blame game with the company I got the bass from. When I contacted the company, they just blamed Fender. It was an issue of how the instrument was stored, apparently. Needless to say, it did not resolve anything and eventually I just took it to a local shop and had it fixed. The Wow Factor: In spite of the problem I had, I still love this instrument. Maybe with a bridge modification, it will only get better. I don't regret owning it and enjoy playing it. Overall: I wanted a Fender P-Bass and this is exactly what I have. Of course there are others out there that may be better and some worse, but this is what I wanted. It might not be for everyone, but it's right for me.

"Quality that is affordable and relyable."
Sound: The stock pickups provide warm full bottom, groweling mids and bright highs. No need to switch them out unless your really out for something specific. This bass has an all around "do anything" sound. Feature: Simplicity. One tone, one volume. I can focus on my playing and not fuss over settings on the guitar. The contoured shape is comfortable and the instrument is well balanced. The stock tuning machines are heavy duty and solid. With four on a side alternate tuning (and tuning back) is smooth and easy. Ease of Use: Just strap it on, plug it in and play. Very easy to use. Quality: Not a fan of the stock bridge but it is basic and does the job. The neck joint is tight and the finish is beautiful. Tone pot was a little loose but an easy fix. Mine has a rosewood fretboard on a matt finished maple neck. It plays well up and down the neck. The tuning machines are heavy duty. Not like some of those scrawny little things. I've had tuning pegs strip out before. Not likely that will happen with these bad boys. Value: Well worth the price at $425. I would have liked to see an upgrade on the bridge though. Manufacturer Support: Not needing any support is the best kind! The Wow Factor: This is a standard quality bass guitar. If all you're needing is quality sound and comfort to play. This baby is ready to go to war! It's look is conservative and classy. Overall: This could easily serve as the first and last bass a musician would ever own. Easy on the wallet and quality that will last. You may want another bass, but if you own one of these, you'll never need another bass. This instrument lives up to it's reputation and serves the "Fender" name well.
